Small design studio in Oxfordshire, UK, run by Jon Hicks, who created the free arts and crafts face Hill House, based on the handwriting of Glasgow architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868-1928). He writes: The Hill House is a building originally designed for the publisher Walter Blackie, and is now in the care of The National Trust for Scotland. Now that the copyright on his handwriting style is in the public domain, this typeface is seen everywhere in Glasgow, from jewellers to chip shops!
